Primecoin - Solid use case that has gone unnoticed or under appreciated.

*Also - Gridcoin, Nexus, Curecoin, Synereo.
**I haven't had the time to check out Waves or Lisk so can't comment on either.

I strongly agree for Primecoin, Gridcoin and Curecoin; these are coins that besides being cryptocurrencies, they solve mathematical problems (Primecoin) and/or add value by contributing scientifically (Gridcoin, Curecoin).

Exactly. And that's important in these STILL early days. Having a solid purpose to exist makes complete sense.

*However I was speaking with Effects2Cause and Pnosker and him brought up some good points about how having a single use-case based currency might actually do the opposite of what it's intended to do - actually devalue it over the long haul. Which seems counter intuitive but it was well explained. Maybe I can have them chime in on here to explain their reasoning.

Hey all. What makes a cryptocurrency "great" is pretty subjective for now.

It will come down to, IMO, some key points in the future but as of right now - all speculation.

So long as exchanges are centralized - there will always be a point of failure.

Also there are vast differences of opinion when it comes to...
1. Developers and Blockchain Enthusiast's.
2. Traders and Marketmakers.
3. Ideologies and Convictions.

Which makes this space so damn intriguing.

*I didn't know you could vote for 10 different Cryptocurrencies so I simply voted for VeriCoin.
(For multiple reasons that I won't go into here).

But since I'm here... well... here -

In no specific order:

Peercoin - Sunny thought outside of the box.
Monero - Great community and tech focused primarily on individual's privacy.
Ethereum - Massive project with some brilliant minds behind it.
Ethereum Classic - Interesting pushback from an idealistic yet brutally honest group.
NXT - Some of the greatest minds in one place.
Litecoin - Still has a strong Community despite some setbacks.
DASH - Evan and the team are smart.
MaidSafe - Plausible technology and use case going forward.
SteemIt - Great use case although it appears that they may need to rework their rewards system for the long term.
Primecoin - Solid use case that has gone unnoticed or under appreciated.

*Also - Gridcoin, Nexus, Curecoin, Synereo.
**I haven't had the time to check out Waves or Lisk so can't comment on either.

1. The graphics in the initial OP don't represent how our current protocol works. (Proof of Stake-Time). PoST is a far more complicated system.

Technically it's now - "Network Stake Dependent Disinflation Targeted Interest". I know... quite a mouthful. Cheesy

PoST Whitepaper - https://www.vericoin.info/downloads/VeriCoinPoSTWhitePaper10May2015.pdf
*Addendum with improvements to PoST coming soon.

2. For general information about VeriCoin please check out -
https://www.vericoinforums.com/threads/vericoin-fast-secure-and-rewarding.292/

3. Yes. It's true. We will be back on BitCoinTalk shortly.

*Here's what I wrote in AltCoinUk's unmoderated VeriCoin thread -

Hi guys. We've never quit working on VeriCoin - in fact last year we were incredibly busy working on Proof of Stake-Time.
A few final touches and the protocol will be where we wanted it to be.

Then we'll move on to improve in other areas where we see shortcomings etc.

One of the most difficult things to have is - patience. We try our very best not to release anything if it's not fundamentally solid. Sure there will always be bumps along the way but - we just keep moving forward.

We have a pretty straightforward idea of where we're headed. Right now we're on the road to 2.0

When we cross that bridge we'll explain our next step - which is adoption and utility.

We will be back on BCT. And it will be unmoderated.
(With the exception for deleting obnoxious spam and really extreme allegations with no merit/evidence etc.)

It's true. I, personally, don't care for BCT. I recently went through Blackcoin's thread and it reminded me of how ugly it can be here.

Traders will do what they do but we have a pretty great Community. Plus the entire VeriCoin Team is awesome. Not perfect but genuinely good guys trying to solve genuinely difficult blockchain/privacy related problems.

So yeah - see everyone on BCT soon.  Smiley

Jay Jay

I nominate EffectsToCause from VeriCoin.info

The entire VeriCoin Team has been transparent from the start.

But what many don't know is that Doug (EffectsToCause) is the Dev who does the actual coding to the protocol while Pat works more with the network and super nodes. Dave did some work with the feature implementation.

Doug is a patent holding Biologist who works on coding for protein folding during his day job, has a family and yet stays up until 2AM every night working hard on writing code, debugging etc.

People don't really know this because he's not very outspoken and is extremely humble.

Other great Devs IMO - JL777, Syntaks and Rat4.

Hello all,

I haven't contributed much on here lately but that's not to say I haven't been following all the conversations. I just wanted to chime in real quick with a couple of thoughts to add a different point of view.

First of all, I think it's ridiculous to think this forum should be shut down. All you anti-BTCtalk.org terrorist out there are giving this forum wayyyyyyy too much credit. I hope you all realize if this forum disappeared today - it wouldn't do a damn thing to help vericoin. The only reason you feel this forum is so destructive is because you empower all these FUD terrorist. Stop feeding the trolls!! I know it's a lose/lose scenario where you can either:
1. Ignore the trolls - at which point they will use that against you to only try to 'strengthen' their argument. Or...
2. Engage with the trolls - you will never win.

It's a lose/lose scenario but you know what the lesser of two evils is here? Just ignoring them.

You want to know my theory on the situation? I'd bet AltcoinUK & Barabbas have lost less money than anyone else on here. Yup that's right; they loss less many than anyone else. I could be wrong, I damn well know they will both take time to try and argue with me that I am. But I have a background in finance and I know how the human mind works when it comes to money. What I found in the profession was: the less money someone had, the louder the voice. It's counter intuitive to what you might think but when i made someone who had $5,000,000 another $500,000 I barely got a thank you. When I made someone with $30,000 another $3,000 I was all of a sudden their best friend, invited to the wedding, meet the family, etc. On the other side of the coin you take that person with $30,000 and you lose $3,000 of their money... Holy shit look out! Now you get an ear full of what they could have done with that money, why they shouldn't have listen to you, how much stress this has caused them. Basically I ruined their life... Not good. Oh and that person with $5,000,000? You drop their account by 10% sure they aren't going to be happy - but guess what? They don't bitch about it all day, everyday, for 3 fricken months.

So you look at these people who spend all day, all night on these forums bitching - for months! MONTHS! You know what that tells me? They have nothing better to do with their time. College students, maybe even high school who lost their $500 allowance for the semester and now can't buy their PBR on the weekend. People that have serious money don't spend all their free time on online forums bitching about how much they are down on their investment, you know why? Because they are busy winning at life.

What what's my point here? Those who still support Vericoin and the devs behind it need to stop worrying so much about the haters on here - counter arguing all of their points and trying to get them to convert. Just stop. The louder someone's voice - the less money they have lost. So why let some guy/gal who dropped a couple hundred dollars on crypto ruin your day? If you stop feeding the trolls - they will lose their power.

Second quick point: no the only people who are dumping are not unsatisfied investors. There are plenty of people who are still more than happy with the dev team and the way things are going who simply want to drive the price lower so they can increase their position in VRC. It's a game. Don't forget that Smiley

I actually agree with this post... 100%. Everything he said in this post is accurate IMO.

Full on... IGNORE ANYONE who can't have a civil discussion. Point blank.

And that goes for those who fully support VeriCoin too. JUST IGNORE THEM.

They only have power... if you give it to them.

Do NOT respond to them - especially if they quote your post and ramble on and on. Conspiracy this... conspiracy that.

Now... at the same time... if someone has a valid concern... and delivers that concern in a reasonable fashion - absolutely engage in a CONSTRUCTIVE dialogue.

Otherwise... ignore, ignore, ignore.

If you post something critical... and deliver your argument in a cohesive, rational manner... I will have a conversation with you.

Oh and new forums at www.VeriCoinForums.com

Have nice day!  Cool

Supernet always delivering and progressing and Blocknet turning out to be a scam... first attempt at copying Supernet...FAIL

That's not cool. I don't think BlockNET is a scam. It could be but it's presumptuous to jump to conclusions.

If investors expect to hold VeriCoin Developers to a higher standard I think it's fair that the community follows suit.

Just my two pennies.

If we saved anybody, it was MintPal (Jay and Jason), not Moolah. Nobody knew that Moolah was scamming anyone. I personally lost 6 figures of money from my investment back in February. Moolah got MintPal's 4M VRC cold storage wallet.

I do not understand why is this the first time the community has been made aware of this missing 4million vrc. Or why the devs would be letting him dump them on the market let alone be lining up buyers for him to dump the 4 million to? Is this the seller you had mentioned that had plenty more still to sell VeriViral?

This is now one more huge issue this coin has to deal with.

The FinCen rulings and what vericoins plans about veribits compliance with regulations that was the giant elephant in the room just became a baby elephant compared to this news about 4million vrc being stolen that was just casually mentioned here.

And one more reason why we should have/should now welcome regulation with open arms.

People knew which wallet was MintPal's-- it was listed on the block explorer. I'm not sure how we stop someone from dumping a large amount of coin on the market. This is not the seller I was trying to pair with VeriViral.

Most importantly, there's no proof that the 4M is being dumped or was dumped or will be dumped. All that we know is that MintPal said they lost all their cold wallets. And we know Moolah has them.

I have messaged you on Skype, but have not received a response. I am now posting here to clear up some of the confusion you appear to be having.

1. 0.4M VRC was used to refill the VRC hot wallet on MintPal V1.
2. Roughly 1M VRC was withdrawn when MintPal V2 was live and running.
3. Roughly 1.8M VRC has been refunded since MintPal V2 was shut down.
4. We currently hold roughly 0.7M VRC after all of the above has been deducted.
5. 0.2M VRC is currently pending withdrawal, and will be processed over the next few days (along with our other continuing withdrawals).

Ryan - Can you please list the original VeriCoin MintPal address where the 4 million VRC were located?

We can follow the BlockChain from there to validate your claim. Thx.

Hey Arsene! No I have no idea who Alex/Ryan is or if he does have 4M $VRC. This is the first I've heard of it.

The dude that mentioned that he sold was absolutely not related at all to that guy.

Yes - VeriBit will be tricky now due to FinCen. We are going to be figuring this out if we can.

We recognize now that in order to find success... there will HAVE to be some regulation involved.

This isn't easy to do though.

Hey guys! Although there is some merit to some of AltCoinUK's concerns... his delivery completely overrides his message IMO.

Implementing an idea is infinitely more difficult than simply dreaming one up.

We're in a Bear Market - everyone's down. Even BitCoin.

Doug and Pat fixed some issues regarding the Variable Interest with ArchCoin. The Devs Edgar had couldn't get it done so he asked VeriCoin give him a hand.

They've already fixed a majority of it and are now simply tweaking the GUI etc.

As far as VeriCoin goes... Pat is working with James regarding VeriCoin's role within the SuperNET core.
DeCentralized Cloud Storage is great for numerous reasons including revenue. That is just one feature.

On the mainstream side of things... Doug is working on VeriCoin's current PoS protocol in a major, major way.

Aside from that... we are in talks with someone who is held in high regard in this space. The recent FinCen ruling has thrown Digital Currency for a loop - as a whole.

The SuperNET will take lots of time to implement. Protocol changes will take lots of time to implement.
These are long term endeavors that we hope will put VeriCoin in great positioning for the next Bull Market.
And when I say long term I mean... 6 months to a year. Give or take.

Look... we know it's not easy for everyone right now. It's not easy for me. It's not easy for Pat or Doug. We're all "down".
But we're still here and we hope that you'll join us on this long term journey - if not... we completely understand.

We are also all for constructive criticism but when that criticism comes along with insults and unfounded conspiracy theories... it doesn't do anyone any good.

We have fair forums where anyone can post whatever they like - within reason.

Please register at www.VeriCoinForums.com and chime in with ideas.

Yesterday a user named Michael posted a great idea for the community to latch on to. Come have a look!

Thanx for your time, patience and perseverance. If we all chip in - we'll get there. Smiley

AltCoinUK and Barabbas:

I could rattle off a list of things I have done to help VeriCoin but that's never been my style.
*I've also never asked for a single donation either.

Instead I'd rather write a short list of things that I had NOTHING to do with.

1. I had nothing to do with any negotiations with Moolah.
2. I had nothing to do with any negotiations with CoinSis.
3. I Skyped with Wizrig ONCE only to get his side of the story. We are not "friends" - but he's certainly not my "enemy" whatsoever. *Never met the dude.

- I don't program. If I did... I would certainly be using that talent to help VeriCoin.
- Neither of you came up with the idea of creating a DeCentralized Exchange. That's on EVERY LEGIT alt coin Devs mind. It's simply not EASY to just... do.
- You're a programmer? Good - get to coding a DeCentralized Exchange. Can't wait to experience it.

I've found success in other areas - mainly in the entertainment industry but also in marketing.

I was the owner/operator of www.GiantStarRecords.com - A professional recording studio in Calgary that focused mostly on Hip Hop.
*It's been closed since 2012 and I now live in Florida.

I have nothing to hide. I don't feel that I've done anything "detrimental" to VeriCoin - the brand or community.
In fact - quite the opposite. Only a few know what I've done - mainly the Devs - and they've been appreciative of it.

There are many things we're all working on... aside from the SuperNET DeCentralized Cloud Storage feature, revamping the VeriLeader Program and "BitVeri".
Plus much, MUCH more. But I digress.

Don't call me a "scammer". I have nothing but the greatest intentions for this coin and when it eventually hits $1.15/share - without a "pump"... I hope you'll reconsider your opinion.

This isn't going to happen overnight. Or over a week or a month. We're here for the Long Term. Not "Crypto" Long Term... long term LONG TERM.
I've put aside the next five years of my life to make this happen in the ways that I know how.

Right now you may sneer at $1.15/share... seems ridiculous. I know.
But as it stands... with the features it has... VeriCoin is a MUCH better, more useful Digital Currency than BitCoin.

That's not an opinion. That's a fact. Think about it.

BitCoin has "first mover" advantage - by a large amount - but VeriBit automatically levels the playing field.

The near term problems we face are:

1. General Awareness in the Public Sector - We need to raise awareness about the INDUSTRY/CATEGORY (as a WHOLE) - not just VeriCoin itself.
2. General Awareness in the Merchant Sector - Same as the above with the only difference being in how we market the benefits of VeriCoin vs Fiat etc.
3. Differentiation in the Current Market - We need to be the most useable coin there is. Period. That goes for average consumers as well as the Crypto demographic.

We are attempting to address these issues and obvious pain points but IT WILL... take time.

Any and all help from the core VeriCoin Community is more than welcome but what we don't need is conspiracy theories and relentless, unfounded criticism.

I'm not sure what else to say.
We all know that once $VRC hits a certain price point - you 2 or 3 individuals are going to dump it.

We're prepared for that and will keep marching forward regardless - with or without you.

Until then... bag hold and help us out or just... bag hold.

I'm speaking directly to the VeriCoin Community here.

Nothing great is ever done by any one person. It takes a cohesive community - a group effort - to make something like VeriCoin a legitimate success.

You're only a "bag holder" if you sit there holding your nuts - expecting things to MAGICALLY happen that will SOMEHOW get you "rich".

Well that is NOT how life works.
It takes effort. Determination. It takes will power and grit.
It takes belief in the fundamental value of an ideal, the possibilities it brings and the bottom line.

It... takes... PATIENCE.

We're not "cheerleaders". We don't have Pom Poms - we have convictions. We have confidence.

Now you can sit on your ass all day long and cry about how money isn't MAGICALLY falling into your lap...

OR...

You can get off your ass and be a part of something meaningful!

Every SINGLE ONE OF YOU has something positive - something special to bring to the table. You have a talent that is unique to you.

Bring that talent to the table! Utilize whatever you may be able to do - that others may not - to help VeriCoin be the coin we all know it can be. (And should be.)
Draw a picture of Doug. Make a short video. Write a blog. Tell your local 7/11 clerk about VeriCoin. Sing a song about Pat.

I don't care what you do... BUT PLEASE do SOMETHING. ANYTHING - but SIT AROUND AND MOAN online.

The future of how business is done is in the palm of OUR hands. Hindsight is 20/20.

We have foresight on our side... DO NOT let this one slip past you.

I'm not sure everyone realizes the real opportunities they have to make a REAL difference in this world. It's rare yet it's right here.

So you can call me a "bag holder" or a "cheerleader" if you like but I'm making a difference.
I'm motivated and optimistic about the future of VeriCoin.

You should be too. Smiley
